Wheateruckle up, buttercup. Itโs gonna be another rough one. ๐๐
This week gives us some genuinely lovely clear patches, but we also have a LOT of fog.
We have Mercury retrograde in Scorpio. Venus is still retrograde. We have multiple Moon Void of Course periods, including one enormous stretch that runs from late Tuesday through early Thursday for those of us in the Americas.
And many of us in North America are still adjusting to the time change.
So if your Big Thinky Brain occasionally seems to have left the building without forwarding its mail, there are quite a few things you can observe this week.
As always, none of this tells you what you WILL experience.
Pay attention to what YOU notice.
Cosmic weather is temporary, not permanent. We don't need to run, flee or hide from challenging weather. We can simply know what the prevailing conditions are and decide how we want to work with them.

We begin the week with the Moon in Leo.
Depending on your own patterns, Leo lunar weather can bring a little extra flair, visibility, playfulness or showmanship.
That can be delightful.
It can also occasionally arrive wearing a feather boa and demanding its own spotlight. ๐
The Moon has several supportive aspects, including positive connections with Mars, Jupiter and Venus.
That gives us a pretty friendly start to the week.
The positive Moon-Mars connection may be especially useful after some of the sharper communication weather we've had lately. Rather than energy immediately becoming anger, impatience or words flying out of our mouths before Big Thinky Brain catches them, there may be a little more cooperation between emotion and action.
Jupiter and Venus add some expansiveness and pleasantness to the mix.
So enjoy the clearer weather while we've got it!
๐ซ๏ธ Later in the afternoon for the Americas, the Moon goes Void of Course and remains there into the wee hours Tuesday.
If VOC periods tend to affect you, you may notice the mental fog beginning to roll in.
๐๐๐
๐พ ๐ง๐จ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ฌ, ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฏ
Tuesday brings a Virgo Moon and some mixed weather.
The Moon squares Uranus, adding an element of unpredictability.
This is one of those times when "expect the unexpected" can be useful shorthand.
Plans may shift. Something may interrupt the expected flow. Or you may simply notice yourself responding differently than you anticipated.
The Moon also sextiles the Sun, giving us some support between our emotional world and conscious direction.
And then we get to the BIG story.
๐ซ๏ธ๐ฏ ๐๐๐ก๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ช๐๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ก๐.
Around midnight for the Americas, the Moon goes Void of Course.
And this one has packed luggage.
It stays VOC through ALL of Wednesday and doesn't clear until after sunrise Thursday.
For those of us who notice long VOCs strongly, this is an especially interesting opportunity to observe our own patterns.
Do you find decisions harder?
Does concentration get slippery?
Do you have trouble finding words?
Does familiar work feel easier than something requiring lots of executive function?
Or do you notice absolutely nothing unusual?
There is no correct answer.
We're collecting information about OURSELVES.
And with Mercury retrograde already wandering backward through Scorpio, apparently the cosmos decided one layer of mental fog wasn't enough. ๐
๐๐๐
๐ซ๏ธ๐ฏ ๐ช๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ฌ, ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฐ
Welcome to the fog bank.
The Moon is Void of Course essentially the entire day for those of us in the Americas.
This is exactly why those Moon in Airplane Mode stickers exist. โ๏ธ๐
If you've already discovered that very long VOCs affect your concentration, decision-making, energy or ability to locate the thought you had approximately twelve seconds ago, Wednesday may not be the ideal day to schedule the International Championships of Fast Decisive Thinking.
That doesn't mean NOTHING can get done.
Familiar work may be fine.
Routine tasks may be fine.
Creative wandering might be wonderful.
Rest may be exactly right.
You might revisit something rather than forcing something brand new.
The important part is noticing what works for YOUR particular biologic.
โ๏ธ We're also in Taurid meteor season, with activity highlighted around this part of the week.
Meteor showers are astronomy rather than astrology, but I love including them because there's more happening in our cosmic neighborhood than the astrology we're interpreting.
If your local weather and light pollution cooperate, look up!
Big Thinky Brain may be temporarily unavailable, but the sky is putting on a show. ๐
๐๐๐
โจ ๐ง๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฌ, ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฑ
The enormous Moon Void of Course finally clears after sunrise for those of us in the Americas.
Somebody find the foghorn and turn it OFF. ๐
But Thursday isn't simply a switch from "difficult" to "easy."
We have some substantial Scorpio weather to work with.
Mercury, the Sun and Venus gather together in Scorpio, while Venus also has a supportive sextile to Jupiter.
That's particularly interesting because both Mercury and Venus are still retrograde.
Mercury has us reviewing communication, information, decisions and thinking.
Venus has us reviewing relationships, values, resources and what matters to us.
And Scorpio likes to look underneath things.
So after that enormous stretch of fog, Thursday may offer opportunities to notice something differently.
Something that was difficult to see clearly may become more visible.
Something you've been reconsidering may reveal another layer.
Something you thought you understood may deserve another look.
That doesn't mean we have to immediately DO something about every realization.
Sometimes noticing is enough.
โ๏ธ Taurid meteor activity is still part of our sky show too.
๐๐๐
๐น ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฌ, ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฒ
Ahhhh.
Some breathing room.
Friday gives us a welcome calmer stretch without a giant Moon Void of Course swallowing the day.
We also have useful action-oriented lunar weather.
After Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning, this may feel like somebody finally cleaned the windshield.
If something has been waiting for a clearer patch before you move it forward, Friday may be worth noticing.
Mercury is STILL retrograde, of course.
So proofread the thing.
Check the details.
Confirm the appointment.
Make sure the email is going to the person you think it's going to. ๐
But retrograde doesn't mean everything has to stop.
Use the weather that's available.
๐๐๐
๐ซ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ, ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ ๐ณ
Aaaaaand the fog machine returns.
We have another substantial Moon Void of Course beginning after dawn for the Americas and continuing into the middle of the afternoon.
There are also both supportive and challenging lunar aspects.
That can make Saturday feel a little push-pull.
One part of you may feel expansive, social, connected or ready to move.
Another part may be staring through the VOC fog wondering where everybody thinks they're going.
Both can exist.
We don't have to choose one and declare it THE ENERGY OF THE DAY.
Notice what YOU experience.
Notice whether it changes once the Moon comes out of VOC later in the day.
That's useful information.
๐๐๐
๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ก๐๐๐ฌ, ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ ๐ด
We finish our week with the NEW MOON IN SCORPIO. ๐๐ฆ
And after all that fog, we finally get some useful energy for communication and movement.
We have supportive Sun-Moon weather along with a Mercury-Moon connection.
That makes Sunday worth noticing for communication.
Is there a conversation you've been waiting to have?
Something you finally understand well enough to put into words?
Something you've been reviewing that is ready for a next step?
This doesn't mean Mercury retrograde has suddenly packed its bags and left town.
It hasn't. ๐
But "taking action" doesn't always mean launching something enormous and brand new.
Action might mean:
๐ฌ Making the call.
๐ฃ๏ธ Having the conversation.
๐ Writing the plan.
๐ Revising a decision.
๐ก Naming what you now understand.
๐ฃ Choosing one next step.
New Moons are beginnings, and Scorpio tends to be interested in beginnings that come from somewhere deeper than the surface.
So here's something to ponder:
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ป ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐น๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐น๐?
๐๐๐
โฟโ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฃ
Remember that we still have two personal planets in retrograde.
โฟ Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio.
โ Venus remains retrograde.
That gives us an ongoing opportunity to review communication, plans, decisions, relationships, values and resources.
Retrograde doesn't mean STOP.
Sometimes review is how we discover that the map we've been following needs a pencil correction before we keep walking.

This week really does have a storyline:
๐ซ๏ธ FOG โ โจ CLEARING โ ๐ฃ ACTION
Monday gives us a pretty friendly start.
Tuesday opens the giant fog bank.
Wednesday lives inside it.
Thursday finally begins clearing it.
Friday gives us room to move.
Saturday brings another temporary patch of fog.
And Sunday gives us a Scorpio New Moon and an opportunity to consciously consider what comes next.
And if you're still feeling scrambled from the time change?
Add THAT to your observations too.
We're complex biologic creatures living in a complex world.
The cosmic weather is one source of information.
It is not the boss of you.
Stay curious.
Notice what you notice.
Learn your patterns.
And then decide what YOU want to do with the weather. ๐ฆ
Have a beautiful week, loves. ๐๐
